Morris tribune., 1887-06-01

congregations give their pastors !
holiday. What comical thing il
would be if an EDITORS parish com
mittee should call around with big
purse ofmoney and tell him that ht
| needed rest and recruitment for his
brain, and he had better take three
months trip TO Europe and the par
ish would supply his place in his ab-
sence. Somehow the editorial parish
committee isn't constructed in that
style of architecture, and besides edi-
tors never rest If they can AVOID IT,
Mortified News.
| Mortified has II society known as
Rural Improvement society, AMI II
would be well for each town to organ
| ize similar one. This society pro-
poses to look after the proper adorn-
| ment of streets and village lots. Its
latest move toward creating an in
terest in this direction is the offering
| by one of its members of Il premium
| of $25 to the person Keeping the best
looking lawn and street adjoining
during the season. y second premium
of $40 is also offered. If the residents
| of every town and village i'll the
Northwest would follow the example
of Northfieid, it would add greatly to
the beauty and market value OF Their
realty.
It will he remembered that the
last legislature maize an approprla-
ton of$7 800 for the purpose OF de
fraying the expenses connected with
! a long series of farmers Institutes.
Morris is to have Il part of the benellt
| to be derived from this appropriation.
| A farmers institute will I've held here
on Tuesday and "Wednesday, Jure Il,
| %. Some Of the hes talent OF the
state will be here ana the experiments
and lectures will be instructive and
| interesting. The best methods III
each of the various branches OF
practical farming will be explained.
Every farmer in the county, with his
entire family. should attend this in
stitute.
A special meeting of the village
council was called yesterday forenoon
at which e. p. Maginnis rendered his
resignation as Mayor in order 10 ac-
cept the receivership OF the Duluth
land office. Under the circumstances,
the resignation was, of course accep-
| ted. Charles Wintermute was elected
Mayor to take his place and Il. +.
Pearce was elected as a member OF
the council to succeed Mr.. Winter
| mute. Mr.. Maginnis will make a
capable Receiver; Mr.. Wintermute,
| a popular and efficiint Mayor and
Mr.. Pearce is an excellent person for
promotion to the council. We expect
therefore, to hear no fault found with
any of the changes made.
We fear that the Manitoba is not
| obeying the Interstate commerce law
as reIigiously as it should. We are
told more is being charged for freight
on some classes of goods from st.
Paul to Morris than from st. Padl to
some favored points in Dakota. This
| is not in accordance with the long
and short haul clause and, if true,
should be reported to the commission
ers. A little time spent i'll writing
and q postage stamp is all it will cost
YOU to put the road in the position OF
a defendant before the commission
So don't I've backward about making
complaints. Ifanyth:ng is wrong, let
the commissioners know about it. 1t
will tend to make the Manitoba more
considerable regarding the rights OF
| patrons Of their road and perhaps
| cause some Of the lordly officials to
put on their dude glasses and read
| the Interstate commerce law through
once more.
A sensible newspaper exchange
says: I'm these days, when we read
and hear so mi ch of "booms," the
following we believe to be good adj
vice: Ifyou want your town to i'm
prove, improve it. If you want your
town lively, make it so. Don't go to
sleep, but wake upand work for it,
| Push! Get in! Advertise! Talk
about it and talk favorably of it,
Paint your houses; clean up your
back yard make your surroundings
pleasant! Ifyou are doing well adj
wise your distant friends to come ard
invest near you. Work steadily fol
3your home and home interests. Trade
at home and thus help your home
Idealers. Keep your money at home
as much as possible and 1t will hell
lyou in return. Don't waste YOU
time over some neighbOrhood quarre
and hold back your work from some
good object through spite, but worl
for some good and you will be bene
fitted. Get at it! Wake up Get 1
move on you'll foot your own horn
and toot it loud!"
1t is very dwarfed and warped
little soul, pointedly says an Elk
change, that thinks less of a person
because of an honest difference o
opinion, and it shows the very re
verse Of ability and culture to con
denim others for speaking their senti
ments, when the same rights are free
ly practiced by ourselves. But tn
world has full supply of men ant
women who assume that they ar
always right, and that they are EN-
, titled to the privilege Of Away
freely expressing their opinions an
of severely eepsuring those who dill
: fer with themr but the moment the
are antagonized and the same treat
ment extended to them that the
habitually extended to others, the
